Our Thankful Tree

We've turned our Ghost Tree into a Thankful Tree. I have a basket full of silk fall leaves, a marker, and tape sitting next to the tree. Each morning we write something we are thankful for on a leaf and tape the leaf to the tree. O always insists on writing on her leaf by herself :) I plan to write the year on the leaves and save them in a small wooden box. Next year we can look through this year's leaves to see what we were thankful for this year. So far O has been thankful for lollipops, the Thankful Tree, the turkey (sitting next to the Thankful tree), chicken & dumplings, her baby sister, and ghosts.

Do you mind if I 'scraplift' (I don't know the blogging translation of scraplifting...but copy it & +/- to make it more my family friendly?) your ideas? I'm really loving the pumpkin felt design & the Thankful tree is great & something to point out to an older child how many blessings he has when he is starting to notice how his cousins get a lot of plastic junk he sees as REALLY cool! ;)

Very cute! We are doing something similar with a turkey and feathers. Each night before supper we each add another feather. I'm actually about to do a post about it. So far Seth has been thankful for pumpkins, our turkey and family.
